Kingston siblings Keira, 8, and Brock Leffew, 6, recently celebrated their birthdays, but instead of asking for toys, they requested family members and friends donate to a charity.

After learning about the Dream Connection and its purpose, the charity they chose was the Dream Connection.

The Dream Connection is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fulfilling the special dreams of children who are faced with life threatening or chronically debilitating illnesses in the East Tennessee area.
